Researchers in @ibudin’s lab have unveiled a new technology with the power to see lipid movement inside cells in unprecedented detail. The tool uses fluorogens to illuminate certain lipids in a cell while other remain dark. Their work appears in @nchembio.

From immunotherapy to cleaner water to quantum computing, the University of California continues to do the research that matters most. None of it would be possible without funding from the federal government. https://t.co/Z47hExGzFy

These discoveries span decades and disciplines, but they all have one important thing in common: They’ve all relied on competitive funding from the federal government.
